technically. Anyway 'we' helped in either case.
Helped? There was no 'we' and 'they' in those days. Confederation didn't come about until 1867, and even then foreign policy remained in British hands, which is why we were automatically at war when the King declared against the Kaiser--in essence, we were still considered to be part of Britain. The Statute of Westminster notwithstanding, Canadian citizenship didn't exist until 1947--Canadian residents held British citizenship, and we didn't fully shed our Britishness until 1982 when we got our own Constitution. Up until then, Canadians did not require a passport to travel to the UK. (source)
